ORKAN (which is Swedish for Hurricane) could have and should have been as big as Bon Jovi (5ft 6), but despite their best efforts and huge amounts of eyeliner, hairspray and killer riffs, that phone call from David Geffen never came and they ended up where most bands go to die, The Walthamstow Standard.
The hunk on the trunk to the far right is our very own Steve Chapman.
Easy girls.
Our neighbours and the steady stream of wanderers along Saffron Hill are treated to a brand new set of Clinic and SJS contravision window designs every three or four months, and our latest head turners went up just last week.
Always relevant to what’s going on inside (the building and our heads), this quarter’s message is “Shake it up baby”, with an accompanying image of each of the fab four… what do you mean, you don’t think Acilius Sulcatus is that fab?!
This message not only captures the 2012 spirit of Clinic and SJS, continuing to challenge the status quo in everything we do, but also our recent desk shift that encourages different people to work together and not get stuck in their ways.
The results are starting to speak for themselves. We’re shaken, and stirred.

Whilst discussing the fabulous work we’ve created for Hong Kong Airlines, we here at Clinic decided to come up with a list of our favourite travel inspired commercials.
So here they are…. enjoy!
Number 5 – BMW ‘Landspeed’ by TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris
Number 4 – British Rail ‘Relax’ by Saatchi and Saatchi
Number 3 – KLM Zwanen by PMSvW
Number 2 – Toyota Rav4 – Saatchi and Saatchi New Zealand
And the winner is…….
Number 1 – Virgin Atlantic –‘Your airline’s either got it or not’ by RKCR/Y&R
The drink of choice for Clinic? Tea all the way… but ‘why?’ you may ask.
After being asked to help start up tea company Little Sparrow with their branding, we can think of nothing better than getting involved in their delightful tea selections.
And you lucky lot can get stuck in too: tea can be ordered by the truckload from their brand new website we have rather cleverly created here

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I came across these amazing Diego Rivera murals at the Institute of Art and San Francisco City College.
If you’d like to look at any other pieces of his work, you can look here for a link to the San Francisco Art Institute website.

Good looking and interesting which is more than can be said for Lisa Snowdon.

We’ve been beavering away working on a range of Arsenal membership brochures and as part of that process, we managed an all-day photoshoot at Emirates Stadium where some lucky fans pretended (ahem) to drink champagne, talk tactics and make the most of the amazing facilities whilst our dedicated snapper captured the spirit and sophistication of being an Arsenal Platinum Member.
It was hard work, but somebody had to do it! And things only got harder. In the evening, Arsenal were playing Leeds in the third round of The FA Cup, so the models and the Clinic team were forced to watch the game from perhaps the most fantastic box in the whole ground, again while our photographer captured the excitement.
And what a game to be at, with the well-publicised return of Thierry Henry. As Henry ran onto the pitch in the last quarter of the match, the whole of the stadium rose as one to cheer – including Rizzle Kicks and Lethal Bizzle (massive Scrabble scores both of them), who were enjoying the game from the (significantly smaller) box next to ours. Ironically, the only people not standing up were the Leeds travelling faithful, who before this moment had been the only people in the ground actually on their feet. Apart from the players, obviously.
Surely he wouldn’t return and break the deadlock. That fairy story wouldn’t come true would it?
As you all know, it only blumming well did! Henry slotted the ball into the bottom corner with the minimum of fuss on what must have been just his third touch – and made it look simple. As Emirates erupted and Henry set off on a lap of honour (risky, he’s not fully match fit), even the non-Arsenal fans among us were seen shedding a tear.
Hooray Henry! So that’s what it feels like to be a Platinum Member!
